An elevator car with a bare ceiling, a wall element and a connecting device for connecting the wall element to the bare ceiling, the connecting device comprising:
- a rail element with a first leg that bears against the bare ceiling when the connecting device is in a mounted state in the elevator car and a second leg having a mounting surface for the wall element;
- and
- wherein the mounting surface has a first hole for suspending the wall element, wherein the wall element includes a suspension element formed as an angle at an edge of the wall element, which suspension element faces upwardly in the mounted state for engaging into the first hole, or
- wherein the wall element has a first hole at an edge that faces upwardly in the mounted state and the mounting surface includes a suspension element for engaging into the first hole.
A method for connecting a wall element with a shell of an elevator car comprising the steps of:
- attaching a connecting device to a bare ceiling of the elevator car shell, wherein the connecting device includes a rail element having a first leg connected to the bare ceiling and a second leg having a mounting surface for a wall element;
- and
- affixing the wall element to the connecting device in a mounted state,
- wherein the mounting surface includes a hole for suspending the wall element and the wall element has a suspension element formed as an angle at an edge of the wall element, which suspension element faces upwardly in the mounted state and engages into the hole to suspend the wall element from the connecting device, or
- wherein the mounting surface includes a suspension element and the wall element includes a hole, wherein the suspension element engages into the hole in the mounted state to suspend the wall element from the connecting device.
